Save the Children Global Ventures (SCGV) is a Swiss charitable foundation established in 2022 by Save the Children to accelerate change for children through innovative financing and the scaling new technologies.[1] [2]

Areas of Focus[edit]

According to its website, Save the Children Global Ventures (SCGV) aims to change the way progress is funded and multiply the success of interventions and innovative programmes for children in three key ways:[3]

Impact Investing: SCGV manages and advises a portfolio of impact funds that harness the power of the private sector to deliver exponential advances for children.

Innovative Finance: SCGV helps mobilise blended financing opportunities and other creative funding models to support programming that creates positive change for children.

Climate Finance: SCGV aims to secure climate financing to advance climate change adaptation and mitigation programmes that positively impact children and their communities.

Investment Approach[edit]

The stated investment approach of Save the Children Global Ventures (SCGV) is to integrate considerations of children's rights and well-being across its investment processes to advance positive outcomes for children.[4]

SCGV is credited contributor in the development of the Child-Lens Investment Framework launched by UNICEF USA in September 2023. According to the Framework, child-lens investing (CLI) is an approach through which investors intentionally consider child-related factors to advance positive child outcomes while also minimising child harm.[5]
